Bedeutung
Staying calm under pressure.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Norway, 'sindighet' (even-temperedness) is a highly respected trait. Showing too much emotion in a professional setting is often seen as a sign of weakness or lack of professionalism. Traditional Sami reindeer herding requires immense composure during extreme weather or when predators attack the herd. The ability to stay calm is vital for survival in the Arctic. Norwegian business meetings are usually calm and low-key. Raising your voice is rare. 'Å holde hodet kaldt' is the expected norm during negotiations.
